    love this car, its nice when someone chooses a path less travelled to build on
    Thanks and I was surprised as well. I think silver multiple spoke wheels fit these cars very well.

    Thank you sir! I think the 19s really help when all others are 18"

    Doh! You are 100% correct. I'm not sure if that was a typo or a Freudian slip showing which set I want next!

    I can't believe its already been a year since I got the Benz. It has had no problems and the only routine maintenance required is changing out the wheels and tires constantly.

    After I traded the Emils to another SW member, I went with some sl55 turbines


    then BBS CH


    then BBS RSGT



    now AMG BBS 2pc wheels
    not pictured

    Happy New Year SW!

    Digging the new wheels much better. Did the engine issue just go away on it's own!?
    I just drove through Hacienda Heights coming back from Puente Hills area.

    The engine issue did go away after properly retoquring cam assembly and flushing all fluids.

    Look through there, good links posted. Not quite OEM, but OEM inspired off of the W220's LED tail lights..
    They look good, I'll keep an eye out for a used set locally.

    As far as I know, all RWD Benz's have the same issue with the lugs touching the E-brake assembly. That Way I destroyed mine on the W124 on the way towards a meeting.

    My W209 CLK has the same issue (which is logical as it shares the same chassis with the 203's).
    I think even my Dads W164 has the same construction...

    I pay around €50,- for a set of 20 lugs here in Europe.
    But swapping over to studs may be a nice solution though
    Nice, the studs work great, I've had 0 problems thus far.

    Driving a W204 C63 now!

    Good to see you're still at it with the wheels!
    Yes sir and congrats on the C63, that car is a beast!

    Specs:
    20 - M12 shank studs, 1.5 thread pitch and a total length of 2.25".
    20 - Open ended splined nuts
    2 - 10mm hubcentric spacers

    C-Class (W203) - Official C-Class Picture Thread - This is the Official C-Class Picture Thread. Please post all pictures of YOUR C-Class, do not post pictures of cars that are not owned by YOU. Do not post more than 2 pictures of your car. This is better than browsing all the different websites looking for C-Class...

    Love how this car looks on the Emil's, keep it up!
    Thanks much. I thought the tails looked great until I read this and now my eyes are drawn back to them with disappointment.

    Is there an OEM option that looks nicer?

    I agree with you.
